2:00 pm Online Privacy on Trial: Has Congress Given Industry Self-Regulating Long Enough?

Video | Audio

A historical analysis of the most burning internet privacy issues and where we have come since the 90s. Including an international perspective on US/European cooperation, the discussion will focus on changes in data flow and collection, mobile privacy, and the growing issue of third party apps disclosure agreements. What personal information is getting collected, how it is being used, and what does it mean for consumers today? What does the modern version of notice and choice look like? Is there a clear distinction between opt-in social networking geo-location tools and the geo-location tracking that most people participate in everyday? How much should third party apps have to disclose and how much access should advertisers who partner with third party apps have?
